﻿Unlawfully assigned trustees dismiss 58 journalists from İpek Media

Fifty-eight journalists were dismissed early Tuesday from the İpek Media Group, which was unlawfully seized in a government-led police operation in late October with the assignment of a number of trustees to the media group.

Bugun daily news desk editor Bulent Ceyhan, who is also among the fired journalists, along with reporter Kamil Maman, who was assaulted by the police and then detained during the police raid on the group’s headquarters, announced on Tuesday morning that they were forced to go on compulsory leave for several days after the trustees were assigned to the media group, but are now not allowed to enter the media group’s building.
